Fedora 32 approaching EOL

[Andrew David Wong]

Dear Qubes Community,

Fedora 32 is scheduled to reach EOL (end-of-life [1]) on 2021-05-25.

We strongly recommend that all Qubes users upgrade [2] their Fedora
32 TemplateVMs and StandaloneVMs to Fedora 33 before Fedora 32 reaches
EOL.

We provide a fresh Fedora 33 TemplateVM package through the official
Qubes repositories, which you can install in dom0 by following the
standard installation instructions [3]. Alternatively, we also provide
step-by-step instructions for performing an in-place upgrade [4] of an
existing Fedora TemplateVM. After upgrading your TemplateVMs, please
remember to switch all qubes that were using the old template to use
the new one [5].

For a complete list of TemplateVM versions supported for your specific
version of Qubes, see Supported TemplateVM Versions [6].

Please note that no user action is required regarding the OS version in
dom0. For details, please see our note on dom0 and EOL [7].
